🇵🇷🔥 OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: SOMOS BORICUAS FESTIVAL 🔥

The excitement surrounding Somos Boricuas Festival continues to grow! We have been receiving calls and inquiries from reporters and media outlets wanting to learn more about what we are bringing to Worcester, and with so much interest, we felt it was important to issue an official press release and share the full story with our community.

We are excited to officially share the press release for the Somos Boricuas Festival, taking place:

📅 Sunday, August 16, 2026
⏰ 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Worcester Common
🎟️ FREE and open to the public — EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

Presented by LABO, Juntos We Are America, and Casa Borikén of Worcester, Somos Boricuas is much more than a music festival. It is an educational and cultural experience celebrating our Boricua/Puerto Rican history, culture, music, art, traditions, businesses, artists, entrepreneurs, families and community.

We are taking attendees on a cultural journey, from our Taíno roots and the history of Borikén to the music, traditions, people and contributions that have shaped Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican community today.

❤️🇵🇷 CELEBRATING OUR CULTURE WHILE HELPING OUR PEOPLE

As part of Somos Boricuas Festival, Kind Hearts of Southbridge is partnering with LABO and Casa Borikén of Worcester to support Puerto Rico relief efforts.

We are asking our community to help by donating:

💧 Cases of bottled water
💧 Water filters
❤️ Monetary donations

Donations of water and water filters will be accepted at Worcester Common on Sunday, August 16, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

If you are unable to bring your donation to the festival, water and water-filter donations can also be dropped off after the event at the LABO office, 33 Highland Street, Worcester, MA. For additional information, call 508-373-2042.

Throughout the festival, we will also provide additional information and resources on how individuals, families, businesses and organizations can continue helping the island of Puerto Rico and supporting communities in need. 🇵🇷❤️

Information regarding monetary donations and continued Puerto Rico relief efforts will also be available at the festival and through LABO.

🌐 Visit www.somosboricuas.org for festival information, donations, volunteer opportunities and sponsorship information.

And, of course, we are going to CELEBRATE! 🇵🇷🎶🔥

With incredible artists, including Sebastian Medina Sbm, Chrissy I-Eece, Tito Puente Jr.., cultural performances, local businesses, local talented artists, food, family activities and so much more, Worcester is getting ready for an unforgettable day of culture, history, education, service, pride and celebration.

After more than 40 years, we are proud to bring a major Puerto Rican cultural festival back to Worcester, while also using this opportunity to give back and help nuestra gente en Puerto Rico. ❤️🇵🇷

📣 Please read and SHARE our official press release. Help us spread the word, and if you can, bring a case of water or a water filter with you on Sunday. Every donation helps.

🇵🇷 Somos Boricuas. Somos Cultura. Somos Historia. Somos Comunidad. 🇵🇷 Casa Boriken of Worcester, Ma LatinoVibe LatinoVibe
